  2. Field coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_coil

    By increasing the number of pole faces surrounding the Gramme ring, the ring can be made to cut across more magnetic lines of force in one revolution than a basic two-pole generator. Consequently, a four-pole generator could output twice the voltage of a two-pole generator, a six-pole generator could output three times the voltage of a two-pole ...

  3. Homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_motor

    Electromagnetic rotation experiment of Faraday, ca. 1821 [2] Working principle of a homopolar motor: due to movement of negative charges from center towards rim of the disk, a Lorentz force F L is created which brings the entire disk into rotation. The homopolar motor was the first electrical motor to be built.

  4. Bipolar electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_electric_motor

    These early machines used crudely designed field pole pieces with long magnetic circuits, wide pole gaps and narrow pole pieces that gave only a limited flux through the armature. These fields were usually horseshoe-shaped, with either permanent horseshoe magnets or else either one or two field coils at some distance from the poles.

  5. Dahlander pole changing motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahlander_pole_changing_motor

    A Dahlander motor (also known as a pole changing motor, dual- or two speed-motor) is a type of multispeed three-phase induction motor, in which the speed of the motor is varied by altering the number of poles; this is achieved by altering the wiring connections inside the motor.

  6. Pole piece - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_piece

    A pole piece attaches to and in a sense extends a pole of the magnet, hence the name. Pole pieces are used with both permanent magnets and electromagnets. In the case of an electromagnet, the pole piece or pieces simply extend the magnetic core and can even be regarded as part of it, particularly if they are made of the same material. In the ...

  7. AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets

    The connector has three rectangular pins in a row, with the grounding pin longer than other two. The corresponding socket is recessed to prevent shocks. The Norwegian standard is NEK 502:2005 – standard sheet X (socket) and sheet XI (plug). They are also known as the two pole and earth variants of CEE 7/10 (socket) and CEE 7/11 (plug).

  8. Trolley pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_pole

    Trolley pole on a Toronto streetcar, tipped with a trolley shoe. A trolley pole is a tapered cylindrical pole of wood or metal, used to transfer electricity from a "live" (electrified) overhead wire to the control and the electric traction motors of a tram or trolley bus. It is a type of current collector.

  9. Two-port network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-port_network

    Figure 1: Example two-port network with symbol definitions. Notice the port condition is satisfied: the same current flows into each port as leaves that port.. In electronics, a two-port network (a kind of four-terminal network or quadripole) is an electrical network (i.e. a circuit) or device with two pairs of terminals to connect to external circuits.
